CAIRO, Sept 22 (KUNA) -- Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) announced Monday that 33 trucks loaded with humanitarian and relief aid are on the way into the Gaza Strip through Rafah crossing on Gaza-Egypt borders.
In statements to KUNA, KRCS Vice Chairman Anwar Al-Hassawi said that the trucks carry over 10,000 foodstuff packs to war-traumatized Gazans.
He added that the shipment also included 5,000 school bags and stationaries, as well as 160 tons of medical supplies.
